Purchased this Roku for a spare bedroom. It is an obsolete roku so we received a good price on it. The roku is a good product and allows tvs with limited or no cable options to be enjoyable. I have no complaints about the product.

I've tried all the different streaming boxes for TV at this point, and the Roku line remains my clear favorite. It hits that perfect sweet spot between features, cost, and ubiquity that a device like this needs to find. Really, the only issue that I ever saw with it was cost.
Well guess what, not so much an issue anymore!
The Roku Express definitely doesn't have the kind of power that its bigger siblings do. You're not going to push 4K on this thing, or have much fun at all playing games on it. But it's got all the basic features you need for a solid streaming experience, support for wi-fi remotes (even though it doesn't come with one) and a rather clever system to mounting it to your TV to provide a pickup for the IR remote. All the cables you might need are included, as well as the adhesive strip to attach it to the TV, and it's a rather unobtrusive little device once it's on. Performance is maybe a hair slower than the larger Roku devices, but I could only tell when I was really looking for it.
All in all, unless you've got an absurdly nice TV or a desire to play games with the thing, this is a great little unit.

I recently purchased this roku box and I love it! It’s smaller than most roku box’s so it doesn’t take up as much space and it works really well! I have no complaints about it!

this is a super convenient device. I won multiple chromecasts, smart TVs, gaming consoles, but this is the most convenient way of accessing netflix, hulu, amazon, etc. It even plays crunchyroll.
they have improved the remote immensely and i have not observed any lag so far (unlike previous versions of roku).
bottom line - this is the best bang for your buck. Highly recommend it

Purchased this for visiting my retired parents. No cable in the bedroom I use and now I am able to stream Netflix, HBO Go and others. Very compact, easy to set up, and stable while in-use. Uses HDMI
Input on television and can either use a USB input for power if your tv has one, or can be plugged into a wall outlet as well. Comes with small, yet effective remote. For $30 you can't go wrong.

It is a great item for the price. The only downside is that there's no way to use it if you don't have the remote and haven't connected to Wifi.

Very inexpensive way to start detaching from Spectrum. I'll probably purchase some of the more advanced ROKU's for my other TVs. The choices of things to watch is staggering. YouTube has a bunch of hacks that are worth watching, you'll still have to pay for HBO, Netflix, etc. but, much cheaper than the $240 I'm paying for my Spectrum package now. I wish there were a built in number pad with scrolling on the remote... if you are on the Spectrum app... it can take a long time to get to channel 520 a channel at a time. Maybe there is a way to do this that I haven't figured out yet.

Bought this for my father n law so he can watch Spectrum TV app while working out in the basement. The small footprint is pretty cool and heck for $29 you really can't beat it. Went for this instead of handing down an old Roku LT, and seems to be solid so far for what we needed it for. Sure better than paying a monthly cable box charge!

Having two Roku 3's I just needed another for my office to watch on a computer monitor. So I chose the cheapest one and it works great. Not quite as zippy as the Roku's 3's but it's not slow enough to bother you at all. Picture is great and it works like a charm. I give it 4 stars because of the price. Yes, the more expensive ones are better, but this may be the best value of the bunch.
